I I haven’t really seen anything that led me to believe they would disobey unlawful orders. Most of them will obey. We have relied upon thoughtful Presidents and leaders who cared enough about the country or at the very least, their own legacies, to ultimately obey the checks and balances built into the system. Trump knows this.
